The Ulsterman edged closer to the all-time TT win record of 26 on Wednesday after scoring his second Supersport victory of the 2023 event on his MD Racing Yamaha.
Dunlop beat Peter Hickman by just under 10 seconds to notch up his 25th career win, setting a new Supersport lap record of 130.403mph – the first-ever 130mph lap of the TT course for the class.
Speaking to TT+ after his fourth win of the week, Dunlop said: “We’re always working in the workshop, over the winter we’re trying to get the better package and it’s hard because the newer generation bike with the higher cc is making our bike work harder.
“The wee bike’s been faultless all week, it’s been fantastic. I had a bit of a bother before the first race and got it sorted. But she’s been mint.
“The 600 [Supersport] class has been good to me over the years, and to do the double this year and obviously the 130… I always knew I could do the 130.
“So, I said on the last lap I’d try and do it for the craic. So, it was a good race.”
